(Freelance) - Compensation & Benefits Specialist
Job Description
About BlaBlaCar
BlaBlaCar is the world’s leading community-based travel app enabling 27 million members a year to carpool or travel by bus in 21 countries. Our team of 800 employees counts over 50 nationalities and is spread across our 5 global offices, 30% working fully remotely.
We are looking for a Compensation & Benefits Specialist with 5+ years of hands-on experience for an immediate, 3-month contract to reinforce our People team through a critical phase of the annual compensation calendar. This is a fully hands-on mission with real ownership from day one: you'll need to be operational within days, not weeks, picking up live, time-sensitive workstreams already in motion.
You will report directly to the Head of Talent, Culture & Performance and partner closely with HRBPs and local HR teams to keep BlaBlaCar's core compensation processes running without disruption.
Your responsibilities
Budget 2027Own the finalization and consolidation of the 2027 C&B; budget, including benefits cost simulations, across BlaBlaCar's scope.
NAO (Négociations Annuelles Obligatoires)Lead the preparation of the NAO process for France: equity and gender pay gap data, compensation thresholds, market survey inputs, and negotiation-ready materials for the CSE.
EOY Compensation ReviewDrive the global End-of-Year compensation review process end-to-end: calibration follow-up, salary review campaign execution, consolidation, reporting, and day-to-day support to HRBPs and managers.
Salary Bands & Job ArchitectureUpdate and maintain salary bands and the grading system across departments and geographies — including finalizing bands for Brazil and Ukraine — grounded in external benchmarks (AON Radford, Ravio).
Your qualifications
Required
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in Compensation & Benefits, in an international environment
• Proven experience owning an End-of-Year compensation review cycle end-to-end
• Experience preparing and running NAO processes in a French context
• Strong expertise in job architecture, salary band design, and market benchmarking (Mercer, AON Radford, Ravio or equivalent)
• Comfortable joining a live, ongoing cycle with minimal ramp-up time
• Full professional proficiency in English and French
• Available immediately for a 3-month engagement (freelance/contractor or via agency)
Nice to Have
• Prior experience with Ravio or similar compensation intelligence tools
• Experience in a Tech scale-up or multi-country, multi-collective-agreement C&B; scope
Interested in joining the ride?
Given the urgency of this mission, the process is fast-tracked: a single screening call with Pierre, Head of Talent, Culture & Performance, followed by a quick decision.
BlaBlaCar is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
